Nearly 200 people wrongly identified on Nevada’s voter rolls as non-citizens

Summary

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) mistakenly identified 185 people listed as non-citizens on Nevada’s voter rolls, but state officials confirmed all these individuals are U.S. citizens. DHS has not clearly explained how it flagged these names, raising questions about its data and methods.

Key Facts

  • DHS initially claimed thousands of non-citizens were registered to vote in Nevada and other states.
  • In Nevada, DHS reviewed records and said only 185 were non-citizens.
  • Nevada officials checked those 185 records and found all individuals are U.S. citizens.
  • DHS has not shared full details or clear methods used to identify supposed non-citizen voters.
  • The voter ID numbers DHS provided can belong to different people over time, causing confusion.
  • Nevada recently moved to a statewide voter system, replacing county-level lists, leading to duplicate or outdated registration numbers.
  • Election records depend on the personal information given when registering, which can be incomplete or outdated.
  • Pennsylvania election officials also questioned DHS’s claim about non-citizens on their voter lists, with DHS itself expressing low confidence in the numbers.
